I'm working on a project now where the client, who is presently 
using an Mainframe, is moving applications off the mainframe 
to PC's, with an eye towards moving into Unix in the time to 
come. What I'm looking for from the net.public is opinions or 
experiences in endevours such as this. 


Also, we'd like to know what platforms the following pkgs will
work on. I've added the OSs I know they work on, if there are any
other platforms please followup. Comments would be welcome too. 

	Foxbase/+ 	Dos, SCO Unix/Xenix
	dBase/IV	Dos, (Unix?)

We're also looking at moving towards a SQL pkg in the future too. Some
pkgs we're aware of include: Informix, Progress, Oracle

For these last three products we'd like to know what, if any gotcha's 
there may be in going from a dos to Unix environment, and any performance
issues that may be of concern. 

Thanks for your time and comments! Any email will be followed up in 
a summary to the net when appropriate.
